Poured from a 16.9 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of malts and grains, some sweetness. Taste is sweet, malts, alcohol is present but not overpowering, as is common for this style. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

Can looks like that of the normal Bear Beer except it says "Premium Strong Beer" instead. Abv differs from that of stark beer at 7.5% as does can color.

A-Clear yellow gold w/fine head, avg retention, little bit of lacing.

S-Strong malt at first that is pleasant. Underneath it's a little grainy w/a hint of booze. Faint hops.

T-Compared to its peers under this style it's okay. Slightly sweet and boldly malty upfront, but the finish is boozy and warm w/bits of noble hops. No off-flavors...just boozy and grainy like most examples of this style.

M-Body borders on the heavier side of light-bodied beers. Moderate carbonation. Balance is fine, aftertaste is a little syrupy and sweet from the "glucose syrup" added to boost the abv, although the hops seem to do a decent job balancing out what is borderline cloying.

D-Nothing to brag about, but better than most Euro strong lagers. The malt is of higher quality, which many other brands seem to skimp on. This product is mildly overpriced, probably due to its import status and availability (purchased at LeClerc in France).
